Important: Pay figures are personal estimates based on the rates and rules you enter. They are not a payslip or tax, legal or financial advice. In Israel mode the estimates follow general Israeli rules, but individual or sector agreements and personal circumstances can change actual pay; check your payslip, employer and the relevant authorities.
